In 2014 my family and my daughters in-law family (total of 11 tickets) went to the last night of MVMCP.  One of my children lost something , can't remember what it was and was sent to Guest Services to see if it had been turned in there and to file a report in case it was found. That night it rained  and both parades were cancelled. While standing in line I heard the many complaints about not seeing the parade and wanting compensation for it. Guest Services with no hesitation offered tickets to the MK for the day that the parade was just like the party's. While inquiring about our lost item the guest service girl offered us tickets to the MK due to the rain. Only hitch was we would not be able to get the tickets from will call till after noon. My family has annual passes I made to offer to the other family but they were fine not returning. Guest services didn't even think twice about giving 11 tickets to the MK during the busy time. 

It would not surprise me if they didn't offer something to those who went and complained. 

A side to note to the night we went to the Christmas party when we were entering there was a couple with two children that insisted that they were told the party was included on their tickets. In the end they were given access without paying. 

I lied about the oil stains and holes. I do that a lot.

Will you be wanting a TCD FWRR spike?

Thank you for asking I was lucky to get one Thanksgiving 2012, from TCD. It was a great surprise for my girls they found it when they got back from the park.

My girls want to display it somewhere in our pop up. like a horseshoe for good luck.

It's about time. I've had your damn FF sign taking up valuable space in my garage for what seems forever.

Pay no attention to the oil stains and dart holes, that's how I got it from Jen. I think it adds character.

I know it is about time. Sorry about that. Ordered it last October 2012 for our Thanksgiving trip, was at the Fort and forgot that I even ordered it. Remembered months later and emailed Jen and she told me you had it waiting for me. We have been at the park numerous times, and about a day or two after I remember that sign.

The stains and holes fit my character. I'm normally have hydraulic oil or coolanol on me and my clothes. Most of my work clothes have a small hole somewhere where I caught them on safety wire. Gotta love working on Navy Aircraft avionics. So it fits me just fine.

Again thank you for keeping it for me.

We will be there 12/21 thru 1/2.

We are excited to try out our new to us 2006 Fleetwood Niagara Pop Up

Amy! I just realized you are the one who left us a Thanksgiving card last week. Is that right? If so, you made our day. That was very sweet!

Yes it was, me and my girls had so much fun going thru every loop looking for the Fiends signs.

We are hoping our next trip to the Fort we will have a pop up.

Is 1700 really full?? or did it seem to empty out today?

We didn't leave the loop til late (245pm), our neighbors were great and let us move our rubber totes on to there sites grass, so we could take our time and not rush. At 245pm when we were leaving there were many at least 10 sites that had just checked out.

IIRC they don't run the card for the deposit it is just a hold.

That's what I figured but watch your bill they charged me the deposit everyday for five days. So when I got our final bill it was saying I owed $500. They only credited it once. Kyle manager in charge at the front desk took 45 minutes to fix it.

Once again, couldn't the fort management send a letter out to folks with Dessie's after Nov 1st so maybe people could have brought a converter if they did not have a new tv. Just a thought

I feel the same heads up would have been nice, we figured the tv broke on the way.

Hopefully, by them eliminating the analog channels they will be able to add more digital channels due to multiplexing. The newest additions were good, but I can get HBO in a flea bag 192 motel... I'd like it at the Fort, too for those rainy days.

We were in 1722 for the past week. I really liked it the sand pad was good fit our 13 X 20 cabin tent, and on the pavement we had our screen room. On Thanksgiving we helped our neighbors out and they had family park on the pad and got thre cars parked. The site in the back was woods it was nice and quiet and everyone around us was so nice.

Had to get the converter from the front desk they said they took a deposit of $125 but didn't see it on my card.

Just curious did you try McDill? We are all in this together, I think??

Haven't tried McDill will look into that. thank you.

Here's another ?? is there a difference in towing with a manual transmission compared to a automatic. Both me and my daughter can drive manual as thats whzt we have now.

Just throwing this out there - we bought our first camper, a pup, from an insurance auction. It had been "totaled" by the insurance company due to rodent damage. We bought the camper for $300. The rodent damage was urine - yuck, but it was only on the tents, so we took all the cushions out and washed them and then we literally hosed and scrubed the tents. The camper was like new when we were done cleaning it. We sold it two years later for $2100 and bought our TT. I don't know if you have an insurance auction anywhere near you, but a lot of times, they are worth looking into.

Thanks never thought to look into that.

Been reading/studying on towing requirements, and what all the accronyms mean. My girls are excited that I'm actually thinking about, I think they're ready to move off the ground.

Taking in slow and making sure to check into everything.

We have rented a pop up before when I was in the Navy, and we loved it. Sad to say the base doesn't rent them anymore.

Not to burst your bubble I do not think your Vibe has much towing power, a suv would be a much better choice. Good luck in your search.

Didn't think it could. Figure what ever we get my daughter I will make sure it can tow. She is really liking the toyota 4runner

Gotta love when something small happens and gets you thinking in a new direction.

So the weather getting colder had the girls talking. Just a note my girls are thinking that the cold is here to stay. Been getting the questions since we have never camped in later than Oct. or Earlier than April. The short of it they are worried about being cold, thier words "freezing to death".

So since we normally tent camping and sleep on the ground. We are looking at a big MAYBE of getting a pop up or small trailer. This brings many, many, many questions that this Mom has.

Been trolling craigslist have seen as low as $700 and as high well lets just say anything that has 5 figures is a no. I need advice as to what to look for or lookout for.

I'm thinking a pop up will probably be best option, one that has ac and heat would be great. We have no problems using the comfort stations and pretty much just need a place to get us up off the ground and in better temps.

My next big??? I know nothing about pulling/towing anything. I drive a Pontiac Vibe Gt (it basically a Toyota Matrix) doesn't have a tow package on it. A neighbor said I could tow a small light weight trailer, but I don't have a clue if that is true. But we are planning on buying another car/truck for my middle daughter, and she is wanting an suv. If we need something with more towing power what kind of suv should I look into. Funny thing about my middle daughter, is all of 5 foot tall and 96 lbs, her words "I feel small in the world already, I want a vehicle that will make me feel safe. Thats why I want an suv". She waited an extra year of saving so an suv could be an option.

Any help or advice I would love to have.
